Introduction of jack

He is my friend, not a childhood friend. He became my friend when I shifted to a new area. He was already living there in the same street. Indeed, he was the first person there to greet and welcome me. I found him quite loving and caring.

He was the most active person in my whole neighborhood. One day, when I came back from the office, he was running down the street.

I asked him, “Jack, what are you doing?”

He, while taking a pause, told me that he was just getting bored and came out to get some fresh air. I asked him then why you were running so fast. He laughed and said, “That is my style.

The story of his first attempt at riding a bicycle

Yes, Jack was 34 years old, but he had never tried bicycles before. This seems strange, but it is true. He was afraid of holding a bicycle after once falling off one in his childhood.

One day, I saw him walking while carrying a bicycle with him. He stopped for me. I asked him why he wasn’t riding his bike.

Again, in his very unique style, he laughed and told me that he didn’t know how to run it.
